Which buzzword, phrase, expression, jargon, slang term is "bugging" you right now---political or not...
You know something that has entered/reentered the lexicon is driving you nuts, so which is currently your most irritating?
I'll start:
LEVEL UP!
Okay, I know it started with video games, but damned if I didn't hear it on at least six different commercials yesterday and... even among news spokespeople/pundits. Uggh. It has become so inane in my book.
Yours?

I despise that one.
"ICONIC' is also over-used. 
Response to hlthe2b (Reply #4)
almost assuredly DOES.
And the trend of following some stranger with no evidence of the prior based solely on the number of views already achieved (popularity) is the most absurd (and deleterious) trend I've ever seen emerge in a segment of our society. Your contempt for education is noted, however. That is a real "tell." Not subtle.
Oy vey... 
(I gather you see what I am seeing)...
Agree with level up.
Not even a real word!

Once one of them starts saying it, they all do. 
But it's not a buzzword. It's regional slang, which often sounds weird to those outside the region(s) in question.
For example, I'm from Illinois, but I spent 3 years in eastern North Carolina, which included getting used to the regional slang there. Instead of saying they needed to get in touch with someone, people would say, "I need to get up with so-and-so." Sounds pretty weird till you get used to it. 
In Illinois, people say "come with" all the time, so it sounds perfectly normal to me. "I'm going to [name of place]. Do you want to come with?" is just our shorthand for "I'm going to [name of place]? Do you want come with me?"
IT still sounds strange to me even after 30 years here. I never say it.
Another odd regional word usage which puzzled the hell out of me when I got my nurse practitioner job in 1996 was hearing mothers say variations of, "He had a fever for 3 days, and then he got sick." I'm thinking, "If he had a fever for 3 days, wasn't he sick already?"
It took me the longest damn time to figure out that no one around here likes to use the word "vomiting," or any of its common slang options - puke, barf, throw up, heave, etc. Odd. 
Everyone's gotta have a legacy. Do this for your legacy, buy that for your legacy. Feed the egos everywhere by pretending there's a "legacy" that will honor you or even remember you. It's everywhere and it's preposterous.
"Tush push." Just NOPE.
"At the end of the day..."
"Elite."
Anything and everything Chris Collinsworth says.
Almost always when it is appended to some ludicrous argument about vaccines, or autism, or COVID-19, or fucking Roswell, New Mexico.
"Research", to these half-wits, fuckwits, and chuzzlewits, is watching a Youtube or TikTok video hosted by some similarly brainless grade-school dropout who likely still eats Elmer's Glue, and with whose views the "researcher" already agrees.
I hate the way the misuse of the term diminishes and demeans the noble and rigorous process of actually trying to accumulate and interpret data. Thus increasing the sum total of human knowledge and wisdom.
Every dipshit waste of human protoplasm with an internet connection fancies him or herself a "researcher".
the person likes more than others, even where everyone extols the talents of the artist and no criticism exists. It doesn’t matter - if everyone doesn’t revere the musician /actor the way the person thinks they should, they are automatically underrated.
The word should be banished!
At work, everyone is reaching out. "Thanks for reaching out. You need to reach out to your manager, or HR, or IT."
What not what?
Hate that phrase.
